    If the rest of Canada was getting healthy raises at the same rate I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But they’re not leading by example … it looks more like the elites are grabbing what they want AND making the rules at the same time.

    And that is a load of bullshit.

      Most MPs are not “elites”

      My MP, Alastair McGregor went to school locally, planted trees for a few years while going to university, worked and got a masters degree in communications, then worked at the constituency office for 8 years before running to replace the retiring NDP MP that he had been working for.

      Trudeau by being 2nd gen PM gives the impression that there are more of the silver spoon children than there actually are.

        I wasn’t pointing at Trudeau. Nice of you to ass-u-me.

        I was looking at Millhouse who’s never worked an hourly paid job in his life and became a millionaire while in office.

      Not only that when they started caring about inflation was when wages where going to increase.
